Gotta agree with the comment about SRV, but he made me remind my interest for 12ers: that sound... :D

Thanks for that link, Rich!

All the best,
Bruno

I enjoyed that! Thanks for posting, Rich. First time I've heard of this guy. It is great to hear this style of music on a 12-string guitar. It made me think of Leadbelly and Blind Willie McTell. It is said that "street corner musicians" in the 20's and 30's liked 12-string guitars because they could be heard from several blocks away! So they could attract a larger audience.

That is a cool move he does with his thumb and an ascending bass line (@ the 1:07 mark). I've got too much arthritis in my left hand to pull that one off! :livid:
